Icemageddon Houston 2018 - Ham and bean something is afoot...
Options
caliking
Posts: 18,731
Office is closed today because we don't know what to do when the the temp drops below 40°F. That leaves me at home looking for something to do.
Pulled out a ham bone from the freezer. I think its from this past Thanksgiving. Found some anasazi beans in the pantry. Probably a few years old. All I know is that they are some kind of bean. Found an onion, some baby carrots that are a few months old, some kind of expired rib rub, shawerma rub, cumin. Added a little garlic, and went to town.
Only to find that the LBGE was frozen shut. In Houston.
Starter cubes had the lid open in 5 mins or so. Loaded up with lump and a few chunks of apple wood. Because that's all I could find in my pit of a garage.
Ham bone roasted for an hr or so (the little bit on the side was the chef's treat).
Made a roux with lard from one of our pigs (2 actually). Some Better Than Bouillon Vegetable flavor (also found in the pantry, unopened, AND not expired!). Dropped the beans and ham bone in.
We'll see what happens.

I’m not particularly following the recipe, so I think I’ll end with something different. So far the roux seems lost in the water added to the pot, but maybe it’ll thicken up in a few hours.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

The fact that you wrote “expired rub” and “probably a few years old” made me feel so much better about myself and my cooking.

I’m betting this will be grand!! Do you have any curry to add to it? That seems to be the only thing your missing besides the kitchen sink. Lol.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

@northGAcock don’t let anyone tell you that you don’t occasionally have good ideas.
Had to do it in the oven, since I have to pick up caliprince in a bit. It may have turned out slightly overdone. But credit is due for using lard from one our pigs. And a Wagner skillet.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
That’s how I like cornbread. Beans & cornbread... killer combo. Based on the ingredient list, just top that bowl of beans and cornbread with a vinegary hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream and you’ll be in heaven.Coleman, Texas

I have not had a road trip in a long time but if I don't get that cornbread recipe I will be on your doorstep come Sunday.

I like how you roll on "snow day".
I need to explore options, and find that luxury.
Nice post.BrandonQuad Cities

No drumroll for me, since I didn't get a plated shot. Things got busy once the kid was home.
The stew, or whatever it ended up being, was pretty damn good. Big shout out to @northGAcock for the cornbread nudge. It turned out quite well. Great crunchy crust on the bottom. I haven't made cornbread in a long time, and had forgotten how good it could be.

The crust was beautiful (I'm sure the lard helped), but I probably should have pulled it 5mins earlier.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

The day funneled in to this 10 minute window where the cornbread had to come out of the oven, last beer needed to be finished, stew had to be pulled off the egg, an errand had to be run, and the kid needed to be picked up.
Didn't have it in me after that. And I didn't have any sour cream.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
@caliking Friend, I’m just yankin’ yer chain. The last couple of good cooks I’ve done had no finish shots either. There are more important things sometimes than posting pics on a forum. Sounds like you had a great day and I’m sure the beans were spectacular.Coleman, Texas
